Profile:
"Bill" Bradley was a genuinely fast bowler, unusually for his
time rising from the amateur ranks. A tall man, he took a long run,
reached both hands towards the sky in the leap before his
delivery stride, and used all his height in delivery. He rarely used his
pace to intimidate, preferring to bowl fast, straight and pitched
up. On one occasion he took 6 wickets in 6 balls in minor
cricket, and played irregularly for Kent from 1895 to 1903. His
best year was 1899 when, based on fine county performances, he
was picked to play against the Australians at Old Trafford. His
debut was impressive, dismissing Laver, the opener, and Howell,
the number three, for ducks, and finishing with 5/67. He took
another wicket in the second innings, but failed to take any at
the Oval. He was not much of a batsman; his Test average of 23 being well above his first-class average of
6.09, with a career best of 67* (DL 2000).
